The author of the software has been actively developing it for the last 15+ years. I thought I'd post here to let anyone interested in BBSing that there is a Raspberry Pi (ARM) version of Mystic available from mysticbbs.com Be sure to use the latest 1.12 Alpha, it's far more developed and robust than the much earlier 1.11 release. Some links that may interest you How hard would it be for BBS software to run on telnet? I remember years ago that I had some program that would do telnet and there were BBSs you could connect to. Could BBS software be modified to be accessed from the web using a browser link? I also always wondered how hard it would be to get programs to run from the cloud instead of being housed on a personal machine. I wish some colleges get involved with Usenet and keep it alive. I think BBC software for schools would also be the bomb. BBS software these days is a PHP application running over a web interface and is way better than a simple telnet based system - pictures threads, fora, the lot https://www.phpbb.com/ https://mybb.com/ Load (one of) these up on a shared/virtial server in internet land and get chattin! -- Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early twenty-first century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally average temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.

I supposed any Linux distributions could run it? that's one of the beauties of linux. your distro shouldn't determine whether or not you can run something designed for Linux [although the presence or absence of 'devel' packages and/or correct shared lib versions are another thing entirely] -- your story is so touching, but it sounds just like a lie "Straighten up and fly right" |
